' ‘Ecclesiastical governments, adopting St. Paul’s declaration that “long hair was an abomination unto a man,” have made a vigorous war agaiust the sinfulness of the custom, and fulminated in opposition to it .from the pulpit as barbarous, unclean and unholy; but at the same time they have permitted, tblerated and sold immunity from sins, not of the hair or beard, but of the heart and mind and con- , of greater enormity and more worthy of denunciation and suppression. Woman’s tresses have turned the poet’s lyre, nerved the warrior’s steel, and drawn woeful sighs from the depths of the lover’s heart. . y All other features are, to lire enthusiastic lover, subordinate; beauty, intelligence and goodnesspdfe nothing.

ngnon. Il&jank hair, among the ancients, was KjKn of cowardice; auburn hair, or Ht brown, evidenced great susceptiHjHy to the tender passion; black hair SBKnot highly esteemed, the possessors being thought jealous and quar- ; red hair, in general, was an HBsion, a mark of reprobation, even ■more the time of Judas. “As wicked W&a a red ass” was freely applied to any one having bright red hair, and was a popular and opprobrious saying, and, to make the sentiment more binding, one of that patient tribe of quadrupeds was made to atone for it every year by being thrown from a high wall. The Homans never adopted • long hair, as later nations did, deeming it effeminate and unbecoming, alike for scholar, statesman, or warrior. A few of them may have done so, but it was after they bad ceased to be a nation of warriors and became scented courtiers. Shaving, by the Roman youths, was an event looked forward to, ancl commenced at about the age of twenty-one. The Franks wore long hair, which was the distinguishing mark of kings and nobles. An old historian remarks: “The hair is never cut from the heads of the Frankish kings’ sons; it is parted on the forehead and falls equally on both sides. They sprinkle their hair with gold-dust after plaiting it in small bands, which they ornament with pearls and precious metals.” It has been written by some one that Dionysius, the tyrant, was so fearful of violence that he would permit no one to shave him, and that he singed his < beard off with hot walnut shells; and so either the tyrant rid himself of his beard in some other way, or did not shave at all; probably the latter. The greatest • prejudice has existed t against the wearing of the beard and the style of the hair. Archbishop Tait forbade one of the clergy to officiate in his own church because he had grown a mustache. Lord Justice Anight Bruce refused to hear the case of a barrister because he wore a beard; and numerous instances might be cited to show the disfavor which the wearing of a beard has excited.— George P. Goff, A. M., in the Ingleside. •

The Story of Poe’s Unhappy Life. "When Poe was a boy, he had no father or mother to go to when he was in trouble. They both died when he was very young, and Mr. Allan, a wealthy man, who liked Poe because he was such a, bright little fellow, adopted him. He gave the boy good clothes, fine toys, ana everything that money could buy, but the little Edgar cared more about something else than he did for all these. He wanted somebody to love him as his mother would have done if she had lived. He longed for this more than most boys; so much that he used to go out where the dumb animals were and pet and feed them, and imagine that they loved him in return (ordiiskindneal; But he found some one at last that loved him. When he was yet quite a little boy, perhaps eight or nine years old, he went home with one of his schoolmates on a visit. The boy’s mother met them at the door and was so kind to the orphan boy that he wa3 almost wild with delight. He had an excellent visit, and afterward he spent all the time he possibly could with this lady. He used to tell her all his troubles—and he had more than most boys have, because of his bad temper. This lady used to help him to control it, and if she had only lived he might have grown up to be a good man; but she died just when ho needed her the mok He was nearly heart-broken when she died; he used to go and sit on her grave and mourn for hours at a time ? He would go' there nights, no matter how cold and stormy it was, the strangest things about her. In the poem “Lenore” he speaks of her soul'afloat on Borne mysterious river. The whole poem is about her; he wrote it soon after she died, but called it by another name. It always seemed to be a favorite poem of his, for he spent much time re-writing and improving it, and at last it was published under its present name, “Lenore.” The same name he uses in the “Raven”— The rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore. Poe might have been a good man if

he had learned to control himself. He had great talent, but it brought him little good; and "he was very unhappy all his life. He seemed to try hard enough to have good times, for he drank and gambled and did almost everything that was had, but he found oat when it. was too late that these were not the things to bring him happiness. The night before he died he spent nearly the whole night drinking and carousing, and the next morning he was found in the streets nearly dead with delirium tremens. He was taken to & hospital, but only lived a few hours.

How to Select a Boy.

A gentleman advertised for a boy, and nearly fifty applicants presented themselves to him. Out of the whole number he selected one and dismissed the rest. “I should like to know,” said a friend, “on what ground you selected that boy, who bad not a single recommendation.” “You are mistaken,” said the gentleman; “he has a great many. He wiped his feet when he came in, and closed the door after him, showing that he was careful. He gave his seat instantly to that lame old man, showing that he was thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions promptly, showing that he was gentlemanly.- He picked, up the book which I had. purposely laid on the floor and replaced it upon the table, and ho waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing and crowding, showing that he was honorable and orderly- When I talked to him I noticed that his clothes were brushed, hi» hair in order; when he wrote his name I noticed that his finger-nails were clean. Don’t ybu call those things letters of recommendation ? I do; and I would give more for what I can tell about a boy by using my eyes ten minutes than all the letters he can bring me.” Little things show character, and frequently determine a boy’s whole career. It is the boy who does the kind, poli-te, and thoughtful acts unconsciously that wins his way to employment and success. And success does not mean wealth or fame. True success means the development of a character that is worthy of example—a character that is honest to every duty, faithful to every trust, and that is unselfish enough to find time for kindly acts that'are not forced, but the simple expression of a warm and generous principje. True success is fidelity to every relation in life. — Christian Union.

Warming Booms.

A correspondent writing from says: “If all the little details tending to better the common welfare of every nation were gathered together and centered in one nation, that nation would be a happy one, but I think it would still grumble. To give an example or two of what I mean: In England the ordinary method of warming a room is by means of an open fire. It is a very cheerful way, certainly, but very dear, because not half the warmth given out by the burning coal is radiated into the room. It goes up the chimney. In France there is improvement by using stoves. Here in Austria it is still better. The stoves are large; about six feet high and two broad, but have a small place for the fire. So, Avhen the fire is kindled, heat is given out to the sides of the stoves before it can lose itself in the flue. In Russia the stoves have a number of flues, usually six, up the first of which the heatedsmoke goes, down the second, up the third, etc , so that by the time it reaches the chimney it is almost cold. A handful of wood warms the stove enough to heat a large room. When the fire is burnt out the communications to the chimney and room are cut off, then the stove slowlv radi-

ates its accumulated heat into the room. Where I am writing this letter is a large white earthenware stove six feet high with iorty-eight square feet of surface. A pound of coal sets it going and keeps the room warm for the greater part of a day.”— Herald of Health.

Scholastic Item.

The mdei overworked, and at the same time the most poorly paid man in the world, is the German schoolteacher. His salary is barely sufficient to prevent his body and soul from drifting apart. One day last summer a fat beerbrewer happened to be bathing in a stream, when "he perceived the emaciated form of the village pedagogue.The brewer asked the wielder of the rod why he did not lave his person in the pellucid waves. “Because my salary does not allow me' to indulge in such extravagance,” was the reply. “It don’t cost you any mord to bathe,” responded the brewer. * “Oh, yes, it does. After bathing I am afflicted with such a ravenous appetite that my month’s salary only lasts me two weeks. No, bathing is for rich people.”— Texas Siftings.

How to Open Letters.

The art of opening letters addressed to other people and refastening them so that no one will know is a profession in Spain. In the postoffice they have a dark chamber where experts inquire into things, and. these have long since given up the nse of steam for opening gummed communications. Even redhot platinum wire for letters sealed with wax is out of date. The favorite means is l*aid to be with a knife sharper than a razor, which is run along the bottom of the envelope. The letter having been extracted and then replaced after the officials of the postoffice have leai ned what is going on, a fine line ; of liquid cement is drawn along the opening, the slightest pressure conceivable is applied, andlo! the letter is whole as ever.— Wftif.

Nervousness.

Nine times out of ten a case of nervous prostration is another name for a fit of selfishness (and ought to be so understood), from which the patient speedily recovers as soon as she gets her own way. Nervousness, so called, is sometimes a real 'malady, closely akin to temporary insanity; but as a rule, it is brought on Ljy willful selfishness and brooding over small vexations or wrongs. —Minneapolis Housekeeper.

Why Jews Live so Long.

The New England Medical Monthly cornmeats very favorably on the proverbially lona healthful lives of the Jews. Dr. Pickard bolds that this su perlority is due to their stringent health laws. The Mosaic, like the older Egyptian code, is very stringent regarding the eating of flesh and other articles of food. Of the animals examined, a large proportion 4re always condemned as unlit for food. People who eat. meat Indiscriminately are very prone to disorders of the blood of the kidneys, for meat Is composed of nitrogen, which the kidneys have to remove from the blood, and of course they caiinot do this success fully except by the aid of Warner’s safe cure, the best kidney strengthened unless it is temperately partaken of and only the very beat meat 1* used. Jews also ure alcoholic liquors very sparingly, and thus keep up good digestion, and then again they are a holiday-loving and Sabbath-obßervlng class— Housekeeper.

How They Dress in Java.

A lady who has been yisiting in Java writes to the Missouri Republican : “As soon as we got to the house our hostess provided us with ‘sarvengkabaya’ to put on. This is the native dress of the country, and is worn by ladies all through the heat of the day, being light and cool. It consists pf two parts; the ‘sarveng,’ or skirt, is about four yards wide, in one piece, with one seam. It is drawn tightly round tffe waist without a wrinkle, and folded over in front in one or two great folds and tied on by a sash. There are many, kinds of ‘sarvengs,’ almost evetfc, district having some special way of making and ornamenting them, and where a stranger would see no differ*ence a connoissenr at a glance distinguishes between a Batavian, Samarang' or Solo pattern. In some places they are woven, sometimes with gold or silver thread; in others a rich pattern is traced in wax in fine cotton or silk. The process is called ‘battick,’ and these are the finest. Sarveng-making is a great industry among native women, and they are of all prices, from one or tw oguilders to fifty or sixty. ”

Proposals in Utah.

“In Salt Lake, you know, it is perpetually leap year, and a lady can ask a man to marry her if she desires to risk the chances of a refusal. Not many of them do, thqugh, as a general rule, but papa (Brigham Young) had a great many offers. Aunt asked him to marry her, I’m sure,” she (Mrs. McAllister) continued, addressing the latter sentence to her mother, whereupon a pleasant dispute over the proposal ensued, which was finally ended by the younger lady’s positive declaration : “Well, I just know he wouldn’t have married her unless she had asked him.” Then to the reporter she said: “Aunt Ann Eliza proposed to papa, too. ” “Don’t be too sure of that, my dear, interposed the mother. ” “Well, if she didn’t, her mother did, anyhow. The old lady kept calling on papa until finally he gave in and married her.” Francisco Alta-California.

Maryland, My Maryland.

Pure Food in England.

Out of 113 samples of food submitted by the public inspectors under the food and drugs act to the medical officer of the parish of Jnslington, during the last year, not - one was found to be adulterated. This will be a shock to the pessimists who hug themselves in the belief that in this devil-driven age honesty is impossible. They may fairly take comfort in their favorite formula: “It is too good to be true.” The circumstance, perhaps, speaks less for the honesty of Islington than for its skill in hoodwinking the inspectors under the food ahd drugs act. Most of the articles analyzed are manufactured outside the parish of Islington, so that even if the tradesmen of that delightful dist;ict have themselves taken to heart the commandment, “Thou shalt not commit adulteration,” it is impossible to believe that in no single case have outside manufacturers imposed upon them with adulterated goods. It is reassuring, nevertheless, to learn that 113 specimens of food which contain no injurious admixture can be discovered in any district of London. The public will find it difficult to believe that the most careful selection could produce such a result.— Pall Mall Gazette.

ARE HAIR OINS INJURIOUS!

The largest percentage of neuralgio headache seems to be among ladies, and most certainly they have a cause. Some havo attributed it to the hair being tightly drawn over the head and held in place by haw-pins; in this way the nerves of the scalp are irritated and neuralgia caused. Belief is sometimes experienced by removing the hair-pins, but it is only temporary. J. P. Mallette, of the Mallette &. Baymond Manufacturing Company, No. 329 South Canal street, Chicago, tells as follows how his wife was completely cured of neuralgia: f “Yes; she was sick off and on for a long time, but a half bottle of Athlopboros cured her so that she has not suffered any since. When it was first recommended to her she would not get it, as she was always opposed.to taking any kind of patent medicine. But as the treatment she yras under gave her no relief, I insisted on her trying Athlophoros. After using half a bottle the neuralgia was gone, and has not returned since. I, told a gentleman at the Walnut House, Greencastle, Ind., where I was stopping, to get a bottle, and if it did not cure the intense suffering that he was enduring he could have the cost of the medicine added to my hotel bill,” “Well, did it cure him?” “Yes; it cured him at once. I have recommended it to at least fifty different persons, and in every case that I know about it has always given the same good results.” James D. Gibbin, room 33, No. 125 Bearborn street, Chicago, 111., is enthusiastieub his praise of the medicine that has cured him of his rheumatism after he had tried in vain many different remedies as well as physicians. “It was inflammatory rheumatism that had a firm hold on me,” he says. “Many times it laid me aside from my business, confining me to the house and many times to my bed. Medicine did me no good. It looked as if I was doomed to suffer on without any relief.” . “How. did you come to use Athlophoros, Mr. Gibbin?”

“It was in this way. My occupation being that of a traveling man, I had the opportunity of coming in contact with many rheumatic sufferers, and consequently was recommended to use all the leading remedies on the market, many of which I used with no benefit whatever. During my trips to Beaver Dam, Wis., I became acquainted with a lady who was a confirmed invalid’from rheumatism. She could not walk at the time I first met her, but was rolled around in an invalid chair. Whenever I went there we always compared notes on the rheumatic question. One day last winter I was astonished to find her walking around and well from the rheumatism. Upon inquiry as to how she got well she said Athlophoros had done the work. Knowing what a wonderful cure this was, as her case was a very severe one, I at once commenced using the medicine myself. The relief and cure was very quick.” “How much did you take in all?” “Four bottles.” ■ ... “Have you had any return of the complaint?” “Not at all.” If you can not get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular prioe—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn't it, do not be persuaded, to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street. New York.

The Woods Are Full of Them.

Claude Yerdi Leslye (the family spelled it Leslie when the old man ran a meat-market) was calling on a young lady one evening, and the conversation turned to the heroic action of Charley Philbrick in rescuing Lulu Jarby from drowning while boating at Greenwood Lake. “If you and I were out sailing, and I should fall overboard, what would you do ?” asked the young lady. “Aw, now, weally! Mygiacious! I weally think I should faint, don cher know. ” Then he was told that his mamma wanted him, and the silly thing went right home.— Brooklyn Times.
